just a quick one from me. Had to take Ash to the doctors as she had a big sp[otty red rash that came up overnight on one side of her face, in her hair on her neck and shoulder. She has a viral infection and I just need to put sorbolene on it a few times a day but the poor poppit is really unsettled and i can tell its irritating her.
Laura- so happy that you are seeing Barb, let us know how it goes.
Kaz- love the avvy! Woohoo!!!!
Heaven- coslept with DP and DD last night. DP asked me if he could co-sleep with me so I couldnt say no. I had DD the same way Nai described ans she just wears a wondersuit and her sleeveless sleeping bag.
Will bbl for more personals as I have a mental blank and am typing one handed! Starting to get used to the one handed typing though!!!
Meeting today with Barb was fantastic, she is so supportive of my decision and has given me some great advice!!
I put bella on the boob at the meeting and she had no problem taking it she was like a little gremlin just sucked and sucked and after about 30 mins of being there i felt that familiar feeling.. i was leaking!!! WOOOOOO its going to take some time to get back to normal but we have achieved the first step already!!!!
Ha, ha it rained on the golf weekend and they had to come home early!
Now I am having troubles with BB tonight, I have read the posts, but I am having to go by memory on what ppl have said and who said what.
Rightly said about the 1-2 unsettled periods info. OP you do have times when the kids go through what you described. I don't know what your thoughts on cosleeping are, but honestly when they are that distressed and unsettled, it usually is a way for them to calm down much quicker. I know you may nit sleep as well, but it works for us here. J never slept in our bed, but I think E has already slept in our bed more than he ever has!!!
Hubby is a north supporter. He took J to the game last week. He too was disappointed with the outcome.
I have a headach, so going to try and catch some zzzzz's before Miss E wakes for her night feed. Last few days it has been 1am and not 3am that she was doing. *sigh*
Hey girls
OP- sorry that Isabel has been unsettled - perhaps a growth spurt- remember it is a phase!! hang in there- they were the times when i would put a baby in the pram and walk around the lounge room, or drive around the block 30 times, or do laps juggling a child in my arms until i couldnt feel my arms anymore-routine out the window and survival mode!! hang in there
Laura- OMG your piercing looks awesome- good for you!!! i am hanging to get my tatt done but cant until i finish b/feeding apparently. DH is going off to get his soon and i am soo jelous- love body art!
KAzz- you sound a heap more settled now- good for you! Glad things are going well- you go girl!
Holly- sounds like for some action for bubbas reflux and colic- have you been to a pead, what about trying a natropath or osteopath- have heard people get great results from both! Worth a try!!!
Nai- good for you for going out on your own!! Glad you had a good nite. i still havent been out on my own yet- unless you count nipping of to the supermarket for minutes- lol- levi is now just like another appendage to me-he goes out to girls nites out, dinners , hairdressers, everything with me- lol doin it whilst he still is a baby with handles!!
hello to everyone else!!!
AFM
all going great- levi has been going down around 10.30pm and sleeping through till 4.30ish- ans then straight back to sleep till 8am- then straight back to zzz after school drop off- he is a champ- hopefully he keeps it up, but hit the dreaded 12 weeks tommorow so waiting for it to all change . . . fingers crossed. Levi has also started dribbling heaps and gnawing on anything that is put near his mouth- so on went the amber necklace on Friday. His cheecks are a nice red colour as well, but he is not in any discomfort- hopefully it keeps nice and calm! I also got an amber necklace for me as well- so we are matching lol
Had a picnic today for twins club- it was cold and wet so we didnt last ling- but at least we went- it was such a shame as it was at the train park and they had bbq, facepainters and games organised- ah well last year it took us all our effort not to get sunburt- such a difference.
Got some contact lenses again on friday- the ones that you leave in for 30days at a time- they are really comfy to wear, but still getting use to them- things keep going blurry and then ok again- so think my eyes keep drying out. Hated wearing glasses when bubs get big enought to start pulling them off your face- they destroy them soo quckly- so contacts are a great alternative. see how i go
DH not home till late everynite this week so gotta get super organised at nite- let the fun begin. . . .
